words borrowed from Emily Dickinson

Why--do they shut Me out of Heaven?
Did I sing--too loud?
But--I can say a little "Minor"
Timid as a Bird!

Wouldn't the Angels try me--
Just--once--more--
Just--see--if I troubled them--
But don't--shut the door!

Oh, if I--were the Gentleman
In the "White Robe"--
And they--were the little Hand--that knocked--
Could--I--forbid?

-Emily Dickinson
